BTS’s Jimin is proving once again why he’s called a ‘history maker’ in K-pop! His latest achievements on the Billboard charts are setting new records and making history.

According to the latest update from Billboard, Jimin’s solo song Who, from his album MUSE, ranked No. 44 on the Billboard Hot 100.

With this, Who has now spent 30 weeks on the chart, making it the third longest-charting K-pop song ever, following BTS’s Dynamite (32 weeks) and PSY’s Gangnam Style (31 weeks). If Who continues its streak, Jimin could soon break the all-time record!

Not only that, but Jimin has become the only Korean artist to have both group and solo songs chart on the Hot 100 for 30 weeks or more. This also means BTS is the only K-pop group where a member has reached this milestone with a solo track.

But that’s not all—Jimin’s album MUSE is also soaring! It climbed 23 spots from last week to rank No. 109 on the Billboard 200, marking 31 consecutive weeks on the chart. This makes MUSE the first and only K-pop solo album to spend 31 weeks on the Billboard 200, as well as the only 2024 K-pop album to achieve this feat.

Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Artist 100 as well. Jumping four spots to No. 79, he now holds the record as the longest-charting K-pop soloist with 38 weeks on the chart. He also remains the highest-ranked Korean solo artist ever on the Artist 100.

His impact extends across multiple Billboard charts:
Who ranked No. 27 on the Global 200
No. 28 on the Global Excluding U.S. chart
No. 29 on the Streaming Songs chart

Meanwhile, MUSE has reclaimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard World Albums chart for the fifth time! With this, Jimin now ties his first solo album FACE, which also topped the chart five times, making both albums the most No. 1-ranked K-pop solo albums in Billboard history.

With FACE and MUSE each reaching the top five times, Jimin has now hit No. 1 on the World Albums chart a total of 10 times, making him the first and only K-pop soloist to achieve this!

Jimin continues to prove his global power, rewriting history on the Billboard charts with every move. What record will he break next?

YouTuber Lee Jin Ho has been ordered to stop making videos about the late actress Kim Sae Ron after the court recognized his actions as stalking.

On March 31, Kwon Young Chan, head of the Korea Celebrity Suicide Prevention Association, revealed to CBS No Cut News that Kim Sae Ron’s family won their case against Lee Jin Ho.

He stated, “The court ruled that Lee Jin Ho committed stalking and issued a provisional order. For the next three months, he is banned from broadcasting anything related to the late Kim Sae Ron and her family.”

Kwon Young Chan also shared that Kim Sae Ron’s family is preparing to take further legal action. “The family plans to file an additional lawsuit for defamation due to false information in his recent broadcasts,” he said.

Kim Sae Ron’s family had already sued Lee Jin Ho for defamation, accusing him of spreading false claims. However, the YouTuber continued to release unverified details about her personal life and family.

On March 27, her family took stronger action by filing another lawsuit against him for violating the Anti-Stalking Act and requesting court intervention. The recent ruling has now restricted Lee Jin Ho from discussing Kim Sae Ron publicly.
